China is a vast land. Except for the most affluent Central Plains area, there are bitter cold ice fields in the north, which are rarely visited; in the east is the vast sea; as for the south, outside the Central Plains, there are 100,000 mountains, towering borders, and endless. The barren mountains and rivers there are filled with countless miasma and poisonous substances. According to legend, there are also weird and strange barbarians who drink blood and are extremely ferocious.
To the southwest, there is the huge death swamp that the world talks about. It has a radius of almost eight thousand miles and is endless. It has been rarely inhabited since ancient times.
It is divided into two layers of land: the first is the outer marsh, which is the periphery of the dead marsh and occupies seventy-eight percent of the land of the dead marsh. There are towering giant trees, dense bottomless mud pits, and many poisonous insects.
One is the inner swamp, which is surrounded by highly toxic swamp gas all year round. There are countless evil spirits and resentful ghosts, and there are continuous miserable winds and bitter rain. Nine out of ten people who stray into the area cannot find their traces and do not know whether they are alive or dead.
Just the name of it, Death Swamp, makes people change their minds.
In such a dangerous place, naturally there are very few human traces.
Half a day's journey away from the Death Swamp to the east, there is a desolate and decayed small village called "Dawang Village". It was named because the villagers in the village believed in a mysterious god called "Dawang". It's just that this god has never been very effective. He neither blesses the villagers here to get promoted or make money, nor does it bless them to have a good harvest and have enough food and clothing.
In fact, if you think about it, living on the edge of such a death swamp, from time to time, a monster will suddenly appear from nowhere, or a poisonous insect will escape and kill livestock. It is not a big deal. The number of people who die here every year is also Not a few. Nowadays, people with some ability have already left this ghost place and gone to the Central Plains. Most of the people who stay here are also lifeless people.
…
On this day, a man and a woman walked lightly outside Dawangzhuang. The man was dressed in white, with black hair like black jade, and a face as clear as jade. Although he had a faint smile on his face, he was full of... There is a strange charm from top to bottom, making people unable to take their eyes away!
The girl's skin is like snow, her eyebrows are picturesque, and she has all kinds of charm and gentleness. All in her graceful figure, she is actually a peerless beauty.
A man and a woman stand side by side, instantly making it clear that 'golden boy' may be a passing term for these two people.
The people coming were none other than Hao Shuai, who had vowed to secretly protect Zeng Shushu and the others, and his maid, Xiaobai, a nine-tailed celestial fox.
It is said to be protection, but in fact, according to Hao Shuai's opinion, there is no need for protection at all. With the strength of Lu Xueqi and the others, unless people from Tianyin Temple, Fenxiang Valley or the Demon Sect mobilize in full force, Lu Xueqi and the others will be able to protect themselves.
Besides, Lu Xueqi still carries the life-saving charm given by Hao Shuai. At the critical moment, as long as Xueqi tears it to pieces, Hao Shuai will only teleport.
Therefore, Hao Shuai abandoned Zeng Shushu and the others and walked directly in front of them.
"Xiao Bai, should we go directly into the swamp, or should we rest here?" Standing at the intersection outside Dawangzhuang, Hao Shuai asked as he looked at the path extending toward the swamp in front of him.
"Sir, let's go in directly!" Xiaobai glanced at the dilapidated Dawangzhuang behind her. The cultivators inside who were attracted by the exotic treasures did not attract her attention at all.
"Then let's go!" Hao Shuai walked in first. Xiaobai followed closely behind.
If you are careful, you will find it. Hao Shuai and Hao Shuai seemed to be walking, but in fact they were walking in the air with their feet a few centimeters off the ground.
…
As soon as you step into the swamp, you will see a vast expanse of water and grass everywhere. Occasionally there are solitary trees standing in the swamp. There is a rotten smell in the air, and a miasma like gray gauze floats in the sky above the dead swamp, blocking the view. , making this place seem very mysterious.
Since ancient times, Death Lake has had a reputation of being difficult to get out of, and no one knows what evil things are there.
But these have no impact on Hao Shuai and Xiao Bai.
It's just the bad weather that made Xiaobai complain: "xsl~~I really don't understand, why don't you just fly in."
"Gongzi" is Xiaobai's title for Hao Shuai when he is in a good mood. If he is in a bad mood, he calls him Xiao (x) Se (s) Lang (l) directly.
The reason why he dared to call him that was because after getting along with him for the past few years, Xiaobai had figured out Hao Shuai's temper and knew that he was always tolerant to his own people, especially beautiful women.
And after knowing that Hao Shuai was interested in her body, he even shouted XSL when he opened his mouth and shouted XSL when he closed his mouth.
Hao Shuai didn't care about this and always smiled and passed it by. He always didn't like to take advantage of words, but liked to show his actions.
"You'll understand later." Hao Shuai did not immediately explain Xiaobai's complaint.
"Buzz buzz..."
At this moment, the poisonous insects were flying, turning into black shadows, and quickly flew towards Hao Shuai and the two of them, obviously treating them as a great complement.
"This is a bloodthirsty bee. It kills people without being seen. Even those who are cultivators will accidentally fall into its trap." The well-informed Xiaobai called out the black shadow's name at a glance.
Seeing that the bloodthirsty bees were about to come, Xiaobai was about to raise his hand to destroy them, but Hao Shuai grabbed his jade hand and said, "Don't do it, I'll do it~~"
After saying that, an invisible wave instantly knocked the bloodthirsty bees out, and then with a suction of his right hand, the bloodthirsty bees fell onto a plate that Hao Shuai had prepared a long time ago.
Then Hao Shuai skillfully lit up the fire and set up the oil pan. After the oil was hot, he poured the bloodthirsty bees on the plate into the oil pan and quickly stir-fried~~
Xiao Bai on the side looked at Hao Shuai's skillful movements and was a little confused.
She had no idea what Hao Shuai was doing. When she was about to ask a question, his delicate nose suddenly inhaled and exclaimed: "It smells so good~~"
She followed the aroma and found that the aroma was coming from the oil pan.
"Come and try it!" At this time, Hao Shuai had already put the fried bloodthirsty bees on a plate and handed it to Xiao Bai.
Xiaobai looked at the golden bloodthirsty bees that were blown up in front of him. Under Hao Shuai's encouraging eyes, he carefully picked up one and put it in his mouth.
"Click~~"
With the entrance of the fried bloodthirsty bee, Xiaobai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that his mouth was full of aroma, oily but not greasy, crispy and delicious, full in taste, and long in the aftertaste~~
"How is it~~ It tastes good!" Hao Shuai said proudly, looking at Xiao Bai who unconsciously picked up another fried bloodthirsty bee and put it into his mouth.
At the same time, his hands were not idle as he ate the fried bloodthirsty bees one bite at a time.
Mmm~~Cracking and crunchy~~It’s really delicious!
Maybe in the eyes of outsiders. The Death Swamp is a place where giant poisonous beasts and insects live. Coupled with the unique poisonous swamp gas, it is simply a place of death, a desperate place, and a very dangerous place.
But in the eyes of Hao Shuai, a foodie, this is a food paradise! !
Those giant poisonous beasts and insects, as long as they are handled properly, each one is a unique delicacy in the world, and its taste is really mouth-watering~~~
As for how Hao Shuai knew? !
Of course he ate it once...
